And sure, Supergrass and 311 are a bit mainstream. But so what? The whole "Mainstream music automatically sucks" bit seems a bit high horse to me.

Some of Supergrass's stuff, possibly not in the arena of guitar solos or jazz riffs, but they have a lot of genuinely good songs with interesting lyrics.

Respect other people's views, and try not to be so haughty sometime...

EDIT: I have checked out that page. Why did you assume I didn't, and then proceed to be so critical?
because you said there was no blues jazz based riffs with good solos. i didnt say mainstream music automatically sucks, but i thank you for putting words in my mouth. i said saying holdovers from the early nineties were the saving grave of music is ridiculous, i said you were wrong about the psychadelic scene, i said that the mainstream has gotten significantly worse in recent years, i said you were wrong about the blues based rock with good solos, i stick by that. one thing i did was assume that you probably werent looking deeply because you listed only very famous bands as your good bands and the things keeping music good.

i respect other peoples views, but rem blows and michael stipe is an asshole.

and yes christina aguilera has a good voice. you can find about a thousand sex objects that can sing, am i supposed to be impressed, thats all she does. someone throws together a pop beats, hands her a sheet of paper, says look sexy and sing this.

what is with me isd that for some reason i still let ignorance get under my skin. i really wish i didnt, as i am trying to be a better person, but i just cant seem to let some things go. ill let this go, i really dont want to seem like one of those assholes on the high horse but i can see how it could be taken that way.

The sorry state of 21st Century music culture After decades of some of the most essential and influential music to have ever been made, the 21st Century business revolution has marked a downfall in music culture, one almost certain to affect music in the long term. Music is everywhere, there's no doubt about that, but it isn't half what it was 30 years ago. Whilst the 60's - 80's brought us many a musical maverick, the growth of industry and music as a business means our ears arn't getting what they deserve, they're getting what's Rating: 5
